Help with routing / recording - Traktor Scratch Pro
HI. I bought Traktor Scratch Pro with Audio 8 box in 2011 - never used it much. I updated a few years ago and still kept using Audio 8 (instead of the new Audio 10 box). I know, I know, i wasn't supposed to, but needed to save money, and Audio 8 still worked fine with my Traktor Scratch Pro. I successfully used it to record a mix - mostly vinyl, but some digital using control vinyl, in 2020. Since then I haven't used it at all.
Not sure what Idid to change things since then, but when I tried to fire it up the other day to record a mix, I have this problem: I can play digital files using control vinyl just fine. but most times there is no recording level showing up in the upper right screen. The turntable on the right gets a level for the vinyl, but the one on left doesn't. both turntables have only a very weak recording signal for the digital control vinyl
Here's the thing though - even with the phono level on the right, nothing I do attenuates it. even if i turn gain down and close the channgel fader, and the corssfader, the signal is still showing up loud and clear - totally open and full volume.
So clearly I have at least a couple routing problems. I've attached a video showing the issue with the control vinyl recording level issue. I feel embarrassed that I can't figure this out myself but I'm frazzled - hopefully you guys will go easy on me lol
here's the video - note. my vimeo account won't let me directly link the video - it switches the link to my profile. you'll have to scroll down my profile and check my videos (I only have that one Traktor vid)
thanks in advance!

If you are using external mixing mode you need to route the master out back into trakter from AFTER the mixer.
If you mixer has a record out, put that into an input of the Audio 8 or 10. Then in traktor settings make sure to select that input as your record input signal.

ok so after checking the connections, I pressed the little input mode button on the Audio 8 box next to the master input,, and it all went back to normal. recording levels came back. lol... At some point the box must've been jostled up against something and hit that button. That's a relief. Thanks everyone!
